Hmm, I wonder.. if Apple would back up Mensch, I bet Mensch could get
10-15Mhz chips out the door.  I believe Mensch said something along
those lines.. that with help from Apple, he'd have plenty. But if 
you're getting shafted.. not much you can do. (Now, that's not to
imply that Apple is shafting Mensch.. well, then again.. it just
might be implying that)
